Inspired Design, Reference Performance.

Acoustically Centered Time Alignment Cabinet Architecture

Curved front baffle aligns all drivers on a vertical plane ensuring sound from each driver reaches your ears at the exact same instant.

Maximizes phase coherence for more convincing and immersive soundstage with pinpoint accuracy and imaging.

Midrange drivers and woofers positioned above and below the tweeter allow for seamless crossover blending to create an idealized “point-source” where sound emanates from single point in front of the speaker to optimize dispersion characteristics.

Diamond Coated Aluminum Dome Tweeter

Through a process called Vapor Deposition, a layer of diamond carbon is applied to the aluminum dome tweeters to vastly improve rigidity and acoustic properties.

This breakthrough in material science raises the frequency response well beyond the limits of human hearing resulting in effortless, airy, and unveiled highs with no measurable distortion.

The diamond coating also pushes low frequency extension of the tweeter deeper for more seamless blending with the midrange.

Organic cell lattice tweeter diffuser protects the dome and employs semi-random pattern derived from organic cell structures to improve off-axis response and maximize listening sweet spot.

Quad 8” Glass Fiber Woofers in Force-Balanced Array

Dual opposing active woofers on the top and bottom of the cabinet render effortless low frequency response while addressing room modes with deep, authoritative bass is evenly spread throughout the listening area.

Mechanical energy from each front-firing woofer is equaled inside the cabinet by the rear-firing woofer eliminating mechanical coloration for pure, accurate low frequencies at any playback level.

Dual 5.25" Glass Fiber Composite Midrange Drivers

Superb stiffness to mass ratio on dual driver array conveys stunning dynamics with flawless tonal accuracy.

Unrelenting Attention to Detail

Separate, acoustically tuned internal chambers for the woofers and midrange drivers optimize separation and eliminate any potential for cabinet resonances, resulting in pristine sound across the frequency spectrum.

Uncompromising 3-Way crossover with premium components seamlessly blends driver output. Subtle musical details are rendered with breathtaking clarity, while massive dynamics radiate with weight and control from the highest to lowest octaves.

Precision-cast aluminum-alloy baskets ensure precise alignment of critical components and maximize thermal dissipation.

Neodymium magnetic grilles

  • Vented Kapton voice coil former is exceptionally lightweight for excellent dynamics and transient response.

Quad 8" Woofers:

  • Long stroke motor and suspension for high output.
  • Composite glass-fiber cone with excellent stiffness/mass ratio for high sensitivity and pistonic behavior beyond passband.
  • Precision-cast aluminum alloy baskets ensure precise alignment of critical components and maximize thermal dissipation.
  • Vented aluminum voice coil former to maximize thermal control while minimizing air compression artifacts at high drive levels.

Crossover & Cabinet Specs:

Crossover:

  • 3-way crossover with premium-grade capacitors, inductors, resistors and heavy-trace printed circuit board
  • Tweeter-to-Midrange crossover: 1.8 kHz
  • Midrange-to-woofer crossover: 140 Hz

Cabinet:

  • Acoustically Centered Time Alignment architecture.
  • Acoustically-centered architecture orients the mid-range and woofer arrays in rotational-symmetry around the tweeter, ensuring that low, mid, and high-frequencies emanate from the same effective point in space, creating a coherent, integrated, faithful acoustic image.
  • Time-aligned cabinet geometry introduces microsecond-level time delays between the drivers, ensuring that the effective-acoustic-center of each driver is equidistant from the listener.   The result is improved linearity and directionality throughout the crossover frequencies, and a more accurate soundstage.
  • Quad 8” woofers in Force-Balanced Opposed Array energize any room with deep, accurate, evenly distributed bass, while contributing a net-zero vibration force to the cabinet and other components.
  • Dual 5.25” midrange drivers share a dedicated acoustic-suspension enclosure, symmetrical around the tweeter.
  • Chamfered front baffle and flush-mounted drivers reduce edge diffraction and improve on-axis and off-axis high-frequency response
  • Extra-thick 1” (25mm) driver baffles ensure a rigid, resonance-free mounting for all drivers.
  • FEA-optimized ¾” (18mm) cabinet construction, extensive bracing, and acoustic insulation eliminate acoustic and structural resonances, ensuring an inert enclosure and an uncolored response, even at the highest drive levels.

Reviews Summary
Customers say these speakers deliver exceptional sound quality with impressive clarity and depth. Many reviews mention the expansive soundstage and detailed audio reproduction. The bass performance stands out, with users noting powerful but controlled low frequencies. Common feedback includes praise for the balanced sound across all ranges, from crisp highs to warm midtones. While most find them perfect for both music and movies, some note they require substantial amplifier power to perform optimally. The large size impresses many users, though some mention this requires careful room placement. Reviews frequently highlight the speakers' ability to reveal new details in familiar music. Most users find them versatile enough for various music genres and listening preferences.

    Gorgeous Speakers

    The finish on these towers is amazing, i went with the white version and they just look awesome, also love the design shape! I am still breaking these speakers in while waiting for the new PB 17 ultra sub to arrive but so far they sound great at the lower volumes i have been listing to them with. I'm driving these with a new Emotiva gen 3 3 channel amp with the matching SVS ultra center Excited to pair these with the new sub and open them up some.

    Upgrade Itas Cured

    These things are huge (in a good way)! I'm so glad I got them in piano black.

    They sit in my media room with the majesty of a baby grand. These replaced the Prime Pinnacles which were the best floor standers I've owned up to that point, but these things, these monsters! The imaging, the seamless blend with my other 7.4.4, all SVS. After DIRAC, the details are complete. It's a warm sound but never muddy. These don't sound any particular way. They reveal. Customer service handled these through SVS upgrade program and was seamless. I think I will keep them.

    Truly Pinnacle

    There just isn’t any need to spend more for something only equally Good. 20, 30, 50k? Now we’re talking Obscene. Audiophile hobbyists talk about diminishing returns and in terms of a speakers sonic qualities they couldn’t be more right. And it’s a steep curve I’m afraid to say. Start with the SVS Ultra Evolution Pinnacles and sonic improvements over these speakers drops off really fast. With a good amp, preamp and source (recently acquired Cambridge EXN100), these speakers perform impeccably. Full bodied throughout the entire sonic spectrum, they are Never harsh, possess a holographic sound stage and are equally at home with any kind of music. I added the SB17 subwoofer for movies and Wow! If you start with these speakers (don’t forget about the 45 day free returns), I don’t think you’ll regret your decision.

    Theses speakers blew me away and nicely paired with the Updated SB17 Subs

    Always been a big fan of SVS for there subs, and wanted to upgrade to the new 17s the house shakes in a awesome way. I upgraded my system to the Emotiva amp and my Aprion speakers were struggling to keep up with it, was going to upgrade to the new Aprion larger speakers, but decided after coming across of these monster speakers to try them out after looking over a lot of reviews and they blow me away. not even stressing at all at higher volumes, sound so good couldn't be happier. so glad i decided to go with these, thought they may be too much but they are perfect in everyway so happy with them.

    i almost never wire reviews myself, but this are so good totally blow away and couldn't be happier with both the subs and these monsters.
